Old Norse hatr has a 54-to-1 grammar problem.
The University of Copenhagen’s Dictionary of Old Norse Prose separates a 54-citation neuter noun from a one-citation masculine analysis—and flags the lone masculine assignment as possibly an elementary error. A directly inspected c.1150-1200 manuscript visibly preserves Hatr, but a visible token cannot settle gender by itself. The reveal is not that Old Norse had two equally secure hate nouns; it is that rigorous lexicography preserves the fracture instead of hiding it.

SCHOLARLY DISAGREEMENT
DISPUTE POSITIONS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
resolvedsupportsestablished
Is the ordinary Old Norse noun hatr neuter?
Yes in the dominant edited record. ONP’s main entry is ²hatr sb. n., gives genitive hatrs, and contains 54 citations; Cleasby and Vigfússon also label the noun neuter.
²hatr sb. n. [hatrs; -], 54 citationsSupplies the dominant neuter classification, genitive, and count.
resolvedsupportsestablished
Do the two ONP entries prove two equally secure Old Norse nouns?
No. Editorial separation records an analytical problem; the 54-to-1 citation imbalance and explicit error warning make equal security unjustified.
²hatr sb. n., 54 citationsSupplies one side of the quantitative contrast.
resolvedsupportsestablished
Did hatr mean only a private inner feeling?
No. ONP’s principal gloss includes enmity and spite, and its citations include definitions involving desire to harm, opposition to love, and contextual persecution. That range does not make every token an action.
Primary sense hatred, enmity, spite; definition-like and love-opposition citationsDocuments a semantic range wider than one private feeling.
resolvedsupportsestablished
Does textual opposition between love and hatr prove shared ancestry?
No. The Time gráts ok látrs, time ælsko ok hatrs passage aligns love and hate semantically, but opposition inside a sentence is not a genealogical edge.
Citation: Time gráts ok látrs, time ælsko ok hatrs; Latin tempus dilectionis et tempus odiiDocuments semantic opposition in a text without supplying a genealogical claim.

hatr → *hatiz-
Old Norse → Proto-Germanic · inheritance
- SOUND
- The comparative analysis aligns Old Norse hatr and genitive hatrs with the Germanic *hatiz- noun after North Germanic loss or reduction of unstressed material and branch-specific inflection. The public sources establish the comparison more securely than one fully specified sound-law derivation.
- MEANING
- The inherited hate, anger, enmity, or spite field continues in Old Norse hatred, enmity, and spite. One proposed mockery or scorn context remains a qualified side sense rather than the ancestral center.
